Knoebel's

Knoebel's grew on me. Geoff and I visited there in the middle of our big Pennsylvania trip in 1999, and we didn't think much of the park. It reminded me of a campground with some rides, which didn't really appeal to this theme park junkie. But, when I went back for Phall Phunfest later that year... I got it.

This park isn't about the biggest, tallest, fastest or even flashiest ride of the year. It's all about relaxing, soaking in nature, and being with friends. The employees are fantastic - they really enjoy their job, which helps their guests enjoy their park. The owners of the park, Mr. & Mrs. Dick Knoebel are always visible during the course of the day, and the pride they have in their park is so present in their attitude. They have to be 2 of the happiest people on Earth! And as an added perk, Knoebel's has 2 of the best wooden roller coasters & the best Flyers ride in the country! They have excellent food, some of which is unique to the park, such as Birch Beer, Caramel Apple Chips and Cheese on a Stick. Their campground is second to none, and most RRCers enjoy camping together at the PPP event, held the first weekend in October. Did I mention their unique bathrooms? :)

Anyway, I hope you enjoy my Knoebel's page. This park is special to me, and its value increases over the years. I hope it will inspire you to plan a trip to the middle of Pennsylvania soon to enjoy one of the most unique parks in the world!
